For users of the LCD model Valve Steam Deck (https://store.steampowered.com/steamdeck), there may be times when the display quality doesn't meet expectations. Fortunately, DeckSight has emerged as a game-changing upgrade that allows you to replace the original screen with a 1080P AMOLED display without major modifications. This upgrade offers significantly improved clarity, more vibrant colors, and superior black levels, outperforming standard LCD screens in almost every aspect. If you're looking for a better visual experience on your Steam Deck, this upgrade is definitely worth considering.
DeckSight not only brings an enhanced OLED panel but also includes an integrated touch screen that is optically bonded to a custom cover glass—both essential components of the upgrade. While specific details are still being finalized, it's clear that DeckSight will deliver higher peak brightness, a faster refresh rate, and improved battery life compared to the original LCD panel.
Installation of DeckSight isn’t overly complicated, and the iFixit guide (https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Steam+Deck+Screen+Replacement/148986) provides excellent step-by-step instructions for removing the existing LCD. Additionally, users should be aware that a redesigned FPC ribbon cable is included to ensure compatibility with the new display panel.
To use DeckSight, the Steam Deck requires a custom BIOS, which can be found in Shade Technik’s GitHub repository. Importantly, this change is reversible—if you ever want to go back to the original configuration, you can simply restore the stock Steam Deck BIOS and reinstall the original LCD at any time.
It’s important to note that DeckSight is **not compatible** with the 2023 OLED models of the Steam Deck.
